I don’t know about you but when it comes to reading God’s word I’m a bit of a binge eater. I will go through a phase of spirituality and feast on spending time with God, this could last a few days, a few weeks but I then seem to starve my self until another binge comes along.

The problem with this is that I’m excluding God from my day-to-day life; it means that a lot of the time I am running on empty which means I am doing Life in my own strength not Gods.

I know that I need a daily meal with God.

There was a period in my life when I was able to read the whole bible in 5 months. I have to admit I was well pleased with myself and my relationship with God catapulted forward. I was only able to do this because I was doing it with 30 other people.

For those of you like me that find it hard to be disciplined enough to spend time with God every day then Lunch is for you. The aim of Lunch is to create a community of people that are egger for God’s word to be their daily food. We will read the bible daily as a group and encourage and spear each other on blogging what God has shown us.

Here is how it will work.

Each week’s bible reading will be posted under the Lunch section of 3days, It will be a Monday-Friday reading programme taking some of the pressure off and giving you the weekend to catch up if needed. On Monday of each week the new list will appear and we will throw out some thoughts from the past week. This could be anything that particularly spoke to you or a question about something you just didn’t get.

Let me just say, this is NOT about guilt tripping people in reading the bible, this is NOT about making people feel bad about themselves if they are unable to keep up. Lunch is for people that want to spend time with God every day but on their own struggle to do so. The beauty of Church is when we are able to encourage each others walk with God, when we are able to pick each other up, when we can carry each other and that is the purpose of Lunch.

If that sounds like something you would find helpful then get ready to join us. We are going to start by reading through the gospels. This will be a nice warm up. In particular I want to look at the life of Jesus. Our purpose is to follow Jesus and live how he lived so the more we learn about Him the more God will transform us into people that reflect Jesus.

Monday 2nd October is Launch day. Watch this space…
